The Hebrew in America.

DR.. A. S. Isaacs, in American Magazine
His dispersion has been a powerful stimulus
to his activity, and given him strength that
has defied time and circumstance. The poor,
footsore emierant, greeted with scorn and ohio
guy, has his compensation in his descendants,
who belong to the aristocracy of wealth, culture
and position. Will America influence its jewish
population. undeniably it has been inf1u-
enced in other lands2 The American spirit is al
ready at work, but not in Jewrv only; all
creeds feel the effect of American conditions.
The foreigner arrives here with his traditional
stock of usages-good. bad and indiferent-his
lares and penates, from insignificant towns
abroad. These soon lose their interest and I'M
portance as he acquires wealth and Ameri-
can culture. The second generation regards
them with GOODNESS; the third is almost ignor-
ant of their meaning
The past few decades have witnessed rapid
changes in American Judaism. There has been
a rafting of old armor, and good deal of ancient
scaffolding has fallen to pieces. The essentials
of Judaism however, are still untouched; upon
the whole, there more intelligent spirit
manifest than ever before.

versed in leechcraft would think for a
moment of purchasing quantity OF
leeches for breeding purposes without
having first made an examination of the
eye through microscope.
early in spring, when the sap rises
and the young mans fancy takes an
amorouS turn, the leech begins to lay
eggs, which are hardly more than twice
the size of pins head. The eggs come,
believe, from between the thirteenth
and fourteenth rings of the leech's
body. He arranges them in straight
line. and begins actively to spin over
each web of the most intricate and az
tiStic construction. When first spun,
this covering is of dirty yellOwish
color, which time changes, and which
becomes in twenty-Seven days home
for young leecheS. In that time the egg
matches and the web assumes the APP
pearance of sponge of dirty color, witch
an infinite number of minute cells. The
leech is prolific and the natural increase
in the family rapid, about one dozen
young ones coming from each egg. A
popularity about the leech is that he
will not allow any one to watch him
while he is spinning his web. have
many times undertaken it, and the leech
Invariably ceases work as soon as he
realizes that his movements are being
noticed.
''As to the ailments in which leeches
are employed, it is only necessary to
say that they are used to draw blood,
and have many advantages over cup
ping. Blood letting by leeching is less
painful. leaves no sore, and starts a
stream which does not necessarily stop
with the removal of the leech. The I'M
ACCESSIBILITY of using a leech but once
arises from the possibility of bis becom-
ease from the first to the second patient.
The object should be to obtain from
each worm, by the inflictiOn of pro-
longed fast, the best possible result, and
then destroy him. He is for that pur-
pose to be kept always hungry. and
